Over/under

Time to play over/under again. I list two bands and for each band you say what you think is the most overrated track by each band and then the most underrated track. The bands this time around are....Iron MaidenTwisted Sister

I remember being 14 and sitting in my room listen to the Stay Hungry cassette on a tiny Radio Shack boom box. When Burn in hell came on I would turn it down lown and pull the player close to me because my parents would have had a fit if they had heard that song.

Over: Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter. I laughed the first time I heard it, then immediately turned off the disc, ashamed that one of my favorite bands had sunk to such depths. I've never understood why people don't realize how bad the song actually is.Under: Hard to pick one, but I'll say The Prisoner. It's always been a personal favorite, but it seems to always get passed over for 22 Acacia Avenue (which is a great song in its own right).

I never cared enough about TS to list an over or under, but I do think Dee Snider is one of the most underrated spokesmen against rock censorship.

Several people put down Bring you daughter to the slaughter. I certainly think it was an awful song. However I didn't list it as overrated because I didn't think anyone liked it except Bruce Dickinson.
